Thanks for the info. Seems like the Reggie Lewis Center is the main place. Shauky, what part of town are you in? If anyone wants to get together on Thursday or Friday evening for dinner or something(even IHOP, Starling), that could be fun.

there is a brunch on sunday, insha Allah

hehe, i was winging it, lady s.. :P

eid in new england (including boston) will be on thursday, inshaAllah. takbir will start at 7am and prayers will supposedly start at 7:30am (but from prior experience, they don't start even by 8am).

the mosque on prospect is islamic society of boston (isb). there are lots of little ones in roxbury and in the suburbs. isb is building a huge mosque right across the street from the reggie lewis track center (where eid will be) but to my knowledge, there aren't currently any large, well-organized mosques. and a lot of the mosques that do exist already are quite sectarian.

the intercollegiate msa dinner is on saturday nov 5th. the reception is at 6:30 and dinner at 8pm.
*VENUE: Harvard: Eliot House
Reception - Junior Common Room
Dinner - Dining Hall

*Map: www.map.harvard.edu tile=F8& series=NW

*TICKET: $7 (Also accepting donations for Earthquake Relief)

t- how come i get no invite? :P jk. i have to go to class anyway.

Hi,

I am also new to the area. I am here for about 8 weeks. What are some of the main mosques in the area. I mean is there a central mosque for the Boston Area?
So far I have only been able to find the one on prospect avenue.

Starling: Where will the MSA dinner be held? I would definitely be interested in that and any such activities for EID.

Jazakallah

oma...!

salaam, sk.. if you are interested, i have a few buddies who would like to celebrate together. n-mail we and we will host you after prayers insha Allah

the main prayer in boston is in roxbury at the reggie lewis center. you can get there from cambridge either on the train or by cab. to find out when eid prayers will be, go to isboston.org. they haven't yet announced if it will be wed or thurs.

for eid activities, a lot of muslim students usually go to ihop for breakfast after prayers. if you see college-aged guys at prayer, just ask them and they should be able to give you details.

on saturday night there is an intercollegiate msa dinner. again, sorta a young crowd, but hey, at least it's a celebration, right?

there are lots of little masajid in boston and surrounding 'hoods. if you go to islamic finder and type in "02115" for your zip code, you should get a whole list. try going to some of their websites and see if any of them are having eid parties.

enjoy your time in boston.

i have no clue :)

sunny day today! everyone enjoy! :)
